Vegetation phenology has lately gained attention in the context of studying human-induced climate change and its effects on terrestrial ecosystems. It is typically studied various regional temporal scales. This research focused microscale dolines Northernmost part Dinaric Alps. The aim was to determine timing flowering onset relate it topographic ecological conditions. We (1) floristic gradient along N-W transects divided 2 m × plots, from top slopes bottom dolines, identified discrete groups relation this (2) provided their diagnostic species communities. results indicate that early spring ground vegetation lower stimulated by high moisture nutrient availability, as well open canopy mesophilous deciduous forests. upper karst plateau starts later, which due precipitation peak May/June higher temperatures light availability thermophilous delayed late summer rocky crevices places a particular physiology harsh site pattern doline inverse general patterns phenology.

Native forests provide forage for grazing animals. We investigated whether native and exotic vegetation promotes the potential animal load (PAL, ind ha−1 yr−1) cattle (Bos taurus, ~700 kg) sheep (Ovis aries, ~60 in contrasting forest types canopy cover (closed, semi-open, open). This study was conducted Chilean Patagonia (−44° to −49° SL). Vegetation (%) growth habit data (trees, shrubs, forbs, graminoids, ferns, lianas, lichens, bryophytes) were collected from 374 plots (>5 ha) different environments: coihue (Nothofagus dombeyi, CO), lenga (N. pumilio, LE), mixed Nothofagus (MI), ñirre antarctica, ÑI), evergreen (SV), open land (OL). combine this with literature laboratory analyses (e.g., crude protein, %) develop PAL values seasons. Data sampling evaluated using descriptive uni- multi-variate (ANOVA, MCA, GLM). Results showed that closed had more species (~56.6%) compared (~33.3%), while OL higher of (~68.6%). LE presented highest (~58.0%) ÑI (~53.0%). Closed fewer than semi-open forests, which supported plants (p < 0.01). Forbs dominant graminoids (~45.8%). Multivariate CO associated lower values, explaining 91.2% variance. GLMs increased spring season, forbs having positive effects shrubs trees negative (r2 = 0.57–0.67). Our also dominated environment a high PAL, particularly during summer, when increased. indicates trade-off between production plants.
